Taking into account size and weight, the portability score of the G700SE and fp L is 88 and 83 respectively.

In many cases, it is tough to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions merely by researching specifications. The picture below will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the G700SE and fp L.

Plainly, each of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The G700SE using its smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh more challenging and the Sigma fp L will render more detail with its extra 49MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged G700SE will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
